Gareth Owens

Community and Corporate Fundraiser

Gareth is of farming stock and grew up in a teeny, tiny mountain village in Wales, moving to Dorset to raise his family here as he’s “very much a beach bum at heart”.

When he’s not lamenting his hair loss, Gareth is very much the (self-proclaimed) go-to man for a pub quiz, particularly if the quiz concerns Dutch football of the 1970s. Gareth is also apparently a big fan of climbing things and jumping out of trees, off cliffs (into water, obvs), or out of planes.

Mr Owens has found that fundraising, be it community or corporate, is very much his calling in life so is very happy to be here at Dorset Blind Association.

Away from the family, his main passion is loud electric guitars and louder electric guitars: playing them and fixing them. Oh, and football – gorau cwarae cyd chwarae!
